Simple +HP. Less than obesity, and without the strength component, but also without the additional encumbrance.

Yesh, that was the razor indirectly referenced. One of its dozens of formulations, anyway.

They'd probably manage with a referendum, though. Problem being, it would likely have to be a 2/3rds or better majority of the actual state population -- instead of just people that decide to vote that day -- and... never mind actually getting 2/3rds of any state to agree on anything, you don't get that kind of voter turn out in the states. Ever. Especially in anything larger than, maybe, a single small town.

Mm... depends on the chassis, really. For most good SC ones, I'd rather have quickness or one of the MR ones. Maybe reflexes or ambidexterity for the def boost. Obesity's nice, sorta', but it boosts encumbrance -- which is like unto a kiss of death for fatigable SCs. Doubly so if they're going to be doing any casting in the process (as many of the better ones will be)...

E: Mind you, obesity still works pretty well if you have a way of offsetting that extra encumbrance. Soul vortex is excellent for that, if your critter has D3 and you've got the research.

Good sir salmon.

Please just link directly to the youtube video next time ;_;

Cute abomination of nature is cute, but that website was one of the most violently terrible things I have opened in a while. My poor computer and its flatlined CPU ;_;

Start to end, yes. What you get at the beginning is what Ironbeard'll be selling at the end.

@ Omnomnoming: Rangers or druids are probably your best bet* short of perk luck (natural disease immunity, that one amulet) -- monks get disease immunity, eventually, sure, but they're quite possibly the worst class in Incursion right now, in terms of... everything, really. I've won with a monk (punchy orc), but it takes a bloody long while before they really start to get off the ground (but, being fair, once you're jumping all over the place and basically untouchable you do alright.).

Protip: Just say screw it and take a natural aptitude in Use Magic, then nuke everything to the ground with wands. Decent luck score and a high UMD and anyone can win, really. Mostly how my sole rogue victory managed it. Didn't hurt the couple of Bard victories, either. Wands get silly powerful, and with a decent luck score (Say 14+. Higher is, of course, better.) you're almost certain to be rolling in them. Can punch whatever doesn't need nuking.

*Just jack your wilderness survival up. Decent stat modifier and maybe a feat (or two... forget if there's something besides skill focus for WS. Probably.) and you'll be able to eat most corpses without having to worry about not meeting the DC. Worth note, a multiclass ranger 5/druid 6 gets delightfully ridiculous. Feral caster riding doombeast with all those nice extra ranger spells (like haste. Haste.)? Yesplease~ Or it might be 4/7, forget the exact combo. One of those two nets you dire regression before it's all said and done. And haste. Pretty sure rangers get detect monsters, too, and detmon is the absolute best spell in the game.

Yeah, armor of virtue is... honestly kinda' terrible on an SC, due to exactly what happened to you, Mo. You take a single point of damage, even if it's not even remotely enough to kill you, and the battle is lost. And you will take that point of damage. AoV's better for particularly expensive heavy combat casters -- it lets them get their junk off and still have a pretty good chance of getting back home for round N+1, even if the subsequent battle is a rout for your side. Pretty decent attrition strategy, really.
